WINNIPEG, Manitoba — CPKC has added a Winnipeg stop during the return leg of its Final Spike Steam Tour with 4-6-4 No. 2816, the railroad announced late Monday.
The railroad said in a Facebook post that the locomotive would make a “special stop” in Winnipeg on June 30. The engine will be on display at the railroad’s yard at 949 Jarvis Avenue from noon to 4 p.m.
The tour’s events had been scheduled to conclude with the train’s arrival in Mexico City on June 4.
The tour continues today (April 30) with an appearance in Minot, N.D., scheduled for 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Main Street North grade crossing.
Hope CP will have no problems going to / from and in Mexico.
That is a gorgeous 3/4 shot by the way.
